Did you guys see the video of President Biden picking a dandelion for his wife?

I'm feeling ALL the feels!


https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-picks-flower-first-lady-jill-video-1587689

Sorry, video is at link. I could look for one on youtube and embed?


President Joe Biden stopped to pick a dandelion for his wife and first lady Jill Biden in a sweet moment captured as the pair walked across the White House lawn to board Marine One on Thursday.

Video of the incident shows the president bending over to pluck the flower from the grass before handing it to his wife and ushering her onto the chopper with his arm around her waist.

Originally uploaded to Twitter by CBS White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang, the short 28-second clip has since gone viral, garnering more than 1.4 million views since it was posted on Thursday afternoon.

the little seed parachutes dance in the wind. That’s my bet, as I love to do that too. Dandelions are my favorite flowers and I miss them dearly since moving to the tropics decades ago.

The dandelion greens are incredibly healthy eating too. I grow them in a section of my garden for summer salads.

Dandelion greens can be eaten cooked or raw and serve as an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K. They also contain vitamin E, folate and small amounts of other B vitamins (1). What's more, dandelion greens provide a substantial amount of several minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium (1)

Not only has your humble done that same thing, it was accompanied by an apropos and sweetly melancholy quote from Shakespeare on the topic:
"Golden Boys and Girls all must,
Like chimney sweeps, consign to dust."

If he tried to bend down that far, he'd need help to get back up!
